Optimum maintenance policy with Markov processes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a method to find the optimum maintenance policy for a component. Random failures and failures due to deterioration are considered. Using Markov processes, the state probabilities are calculated and the optimal value of the mean time to preventive maintenance is determined by maximizing the availability of single component with respect to mean time to minimal preventive maintenance. Using the state probabilities, the problem is set up as Markov decision processes and an optimum maintenance policy using the policy iteration algorithm is determined. An example is used to illustrate the method. Maple V and Matlab software have been used to solve the equations. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Availability analysis of mechanical systems with condition-based maintenance using semi-Markov and evaluation of optimal condition monitoring interval
Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in decision-making for optimal utilization of maintenance resources. This paper deals with semi-Markov process (SMP) modeling for steady state availabili...

متن کاملCentral-limit approach to risk-aware Markov decision processes
Whereas classical Markov decision processes maximize the expected reward, we consider minimizing the risk. We propose to evaluate the risk associated to a given policy over a longenough time horizon with the help of a central limit theorem. The proposed approach works whether the transition probabilities are known or not. We also provide a gradient-based policy improvement algorithm that conver...
متن کاملModeling of Degradation Processes to Obtain an Optimal Solution for Maintenance and Performance
This paper presents an approach to represent equipment degradation and various maintenance decision processes based on Markov processes. Non-exponential holding time distributions are approximated by inserting multiple intermediate states between the two different degradation states based on a phase-type distribution. Overall system availability then is numerically calculated by recursively sol...
متن کاملPlanning structural inspection and maintenance policies via dynamic programming and Markov processes. Part II: POMDP implementation
The overall objective of this two part study is to highlight the advanced attributes, capabilities and use of stochastic control techniques, and especially Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs), that can address the conundrum of planning optimum inspection/monitoring and maintenance policies based on stochastic models and uncertain structural data in real time. In this second ...
